That's just what happens in Twitter, because there is a finite number of characters to get a message across.Are you not allowed to send more than one message?Yes, but I'm guessing he's trying to get his message across as succinctly as possible. Also given that English isn't his first language it seems a bit harsh to criticise him when the meaning behind the tweet is absolutely fine. Personally, I'd think that anybody who wrote something like "takes time 2get all right ppl" was a bit of a numpty regardless of who they were.

You deceive yourself roundeyes. I already have a PM from undercover agent Frankmossadwasmyuncle listing all your spookery. Including the bugging of the Shirley Temple.

I remember it with fondness as the first time I ordered a takeaway over the phone I was asked ( and I'll leave you to imagine, with respect, the heavy chinese accent involved) 'what your name?' 'Price' I answered( for that is my surname) response came back, '£6.50- but what your name? 'Smith' I replied and 'I'll collect in 10 minutes'- on the premise that that particular line of conversation had no potential conclusion.
